About 750 students in Kindergarten through fifth grade visited 40 activity stations developed by two physical education instructors.
May 21, 2000 — After a slow start to the fishing season, anglers are now flooding area lakes. It's a busy time because several lakes are introducing numerous walleyes. According to reports from Bemidji's Bluewater Bait, two men caught 60 walleyes on Blackduck Lake in approximately an hour and a half.
May 21, 1975 — Ray Holter, acting sergeant of the Bemidji Police Department, was one of the top two scorers in the written portion of the two-part exam held to select police chief candidates.
